[color=#0000FFost_uid0]"act like 5 year olds"

I think that is stretching the age a little bit! But who is that to say!

Besides it was a busy week on phone calls but slow on quality of drivers. The joy of summer![/colorost_uid0]

Surely you jest. After all the Truth seekers and speakers of the so called truth it is hard to imagine anyone acting like a 5 year old seeking employment.

[color=#000080ost_uid0]Beetle, I can attest to that. My Monday has started out with nothing but 'no experience', 'failed a drug test', 'live in Anchorage, Alaska', 'termed from my last job because I rear-ended a car', etc.

I have officially reached the bottom of the barrell, punched through, and started to dig.

*sigh*

BUT, on the plus side, TODAY, I actually received, IN THE MAIL, an UNBROKEN chocolate-chip cookie from Lincoln, Nebraska. Talk about the day changing for the better.

I can't believe you mailed a cookie! I'm STILL laughing about it! I shall enjoy it with my wife and Kevin (youngest son, still not in school), when I go home for lunch.

Thanks, my friend.[/colorost_uid0]

How come I didn't get a cookie??

Now here's one for the bottom of the barrel. Driver from Murrow was stopped by the local constabulary. I witnessed the traffic stop and didn't think anything about it. twenty minutes or so later I see the same truck in a convenience store parking lot. I pulled in and walked into the store and heard the driver talking rather loudly that the Wilson Police are a bunch of ass***** and he was being picked on because he drove a truck. Now me being me asked the "Wonder" driver why he felt as though the whole town ####ed in his cornflakes.
I was given the whole account. Now of course it is his tale to tell. After he was finished I asked him if he knew how to read. He got upset, but did answer with a yes.
The counter clerk then told this driver that the street he was on was restricted and there was a HUGE sign stating that fact. Like a 5 year old the driver had a temper tantrum. The clerk looked at him as if he was nuts. I paid for my drink and said as I departed "Look closely, that is the future of trucking!"

I did find the officer and asked him about the incident. He told me that a citation was issued and that he never met anyone who was as arrogant and rude as that driver. All I could say was that he didn't know the half of it.

5 year old adults?

I still didn't get a cookie!!! </span>[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#0000FFost_uid0]Sorry Doc - dont have your address....and before everybody posts their address, please remember that some of these "5 year olds" know how to write....or at least how to get somebody to write for them![/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Well, I didn't read this entire thread but my input is the paid HHG's miles issue in trucking. This is a hugh ripoff for company drivers and O/O's.

O/O's get hit the hardest, because they pay for the additional fuel and maintenance cost and additional lost revenue, not to the mention time lost.

No matter how you look at it, paying HHG's cannot be justified in todays environment. Only the people with the caveman mentality still justify paid HHG's miles.[/colorost_uid0]
